First rule of anime reincarnation: if the system gives you a quest called Operation Boobstallion, you do not ignore it.
Second rule: when life hands you a Main Character Aura and a face sculpted by horny gods, you exploit it mercilessly.
And I was two-for-two.
The Kuoh Academy courtyard was exactly like I remembered from the anime. Overly clean, suspiciously well-maintained for a place constantly attacked by supernatural forces, and filled with background characters pretending not to gawk at the new transfer student with protagonist-tier swagger.
That'd be me, by the way. Leo Walsh.

I cracked my neck, casually sauntering through the main building like I owned it. Girls whispered. Boys glared. Teachers double-took. One janitor paused sweeping like he was trying to remember if I was from a drama series he hadn't caught up on.

God, I love this system.
Then I heard it.
The unmistakable sound of anime perversion.
High-pitched gasping. A girl's indignant shriek. The flurry of flailing arms and the fwump of someone falling head-first into Oppai Territory.
Target Acquired: Issei Hyoudou.
There he was. Classic brown hair, slightly hunched posture, sweat dripping down his forehead. Nose bleeding. Groveling at the feet of a flustered second-year girl whose skirt was approximately two inches from a full-blown fanservice disaster.
Issei was mid-stutter. "I-I swear I tripped!"
The girl covered her chest like a medieval knight shielding sacred treasure. "Pervert!"
The background characters were forming a circle, waiting for the inevitable slap.
That was my cue.
Quest Timer: 00:01:45 Remaining
Action Required: Steal spotlight. Deliver insult. Prevent cliché.
Time to Boobstallion this thing.
I casually stepped into the circle like I was walking into a stage spotlight. The crowd parted around me like Moses and his petty high school drama.
Then I said, loud enough for the entire hallway to hear:
"Wow. You're really out here doing God's work, huh? Taking the 'fall into boobs' tactic straight from the caveman playbook."
Issei looked up. "Huh?!"
The girl blinked. "W-who are you—?"
I kept going, smoothly.
"Ladies and gentlemen," I said, motioning to the frozen crowd, "what you're witnessing is the final form of desperate flirting. Behold: the Pervus Simpienus—trying to impress someone by crashing into them."

The girl blinked at me, face slightly flushed. "T-thank you…"

I gave her a subtle wink. She turned red.
Issei was still processing my existence like I'd just eaten his lunch, stolen his screen time, and kicked his dog.
I walked past him and leaned close.
"Step up your game, Hyoudou," I whispered.
He didn't understand what i said. I walked away before he could respond.

Later that day, I was lounging behind the school's sakura tree like a proper protagonist, arms folded behind my head, shoes off, absorbing the sheer vibes of victory.
That's when she arrived.
I felt it before I saw it—like gravity shifted to announce her presence.
Crimson hair. Flowing like velvet fire. Body sculpted by a pantheon of lewd gods. Blue-green eyes locked onto me like she already knew something was off.
Rias Gremory.
Queen of Kuoh. Canon-certified harem boss.
She approached, silent, elegant, terrifyingly curious.
"You're the new transfer student," she said, her voice calm and syrup-smooth.
I sat up slowly, taking her in.
"Yeah... and you must be Rias Gremory. You're kind of a legend around here."
A brief pause. Her crimson eyes studied me.
Then, to my surprise, she smiled—cool, knowing.
"Is that so? That's... intriguing."
Affection Ping:
Name: Rias Gremory
Affection Level: 0%
Status: Intrigued. Investigating.
Hidden Thought: ("He doesn't seem normal. I need to keep an eye on this one.")
Oh, I'm in.
She turned, hair swaying like the end credits to temptation itself.
"Anyway, I have to go now. See you later, Leo Walsh"
I watched her walk away like the world had just started playing background music.
Then the System chimed again.
